The possibility of generating a hot, high density plasma in the high beta tokamak configuration [β≲0.3, q (a) ≳1] using a turbulent poloidal current to heat the plasma and adjust the magnetic fields is studied. The physical principles underlying this method are discussed, and it is demonstrated, using a numerical simulation, how they may be implemented.
